The replication files consist of a root folder JTL (for Jeunes du Tuy Lisent, Youth of Tuy Read, program).  
The subfolders contain the following files:

* /data
o JTL_for_rep.dta		
* The Stata dataset that contain observations for the 557 participants in the program, identified by an id variable.  Most variables are suffixed by mars13, mai13, aout13, mars14 and mai14 the French abbreviations of month and then year, for the session in which the variable was measured.  Many variable names and labels are in French.
* /programs
o Main Replication Burkina reading JTL-EDCC.do
* A Stata do file that creates all the tables and the figure reported  in the paper
* /extra
* make table of means and ttest results.do
o A Stata do file that creates table of means by category
* make table of means and ttest results more than 2 cats.do
o A Stata do file that creates table of means by category 
o Appendix Burkina reading JTL-EDCC.do
* A Stata do file that creates tables of means and implements leebounds and tssrtest
* Note that the RI commands (tssrtest) for estimates by cluster are blocked out since they take a very long time (possibly 2 days) running on an ordinary desktop computer
* Note also that a seed is not set for the RI so results will differ slightly from run to run
* /results
o Results folder, with results that will be replaced when programs are run. Results will correspond to tables in text, though variable names are greatly abbreviated and many are in French (but they should be intelligible)
* /scrap
